If nature goes, its taking us with it. No time to wait.

Her writing changed how Americans thought about the environment.

Rachel Carson, the scientist and author whose landmark 1962 book "Silent Spring" helped spark the modern environmental movement, is the focus of an exhibition at Yale’s Beinecke Library.

"Silent Springs, Windswept Seas," on view through Oct. 4, offers a closer look at Carson’s life, the natural world that inspired her, and the legacy of her work.

The Barotse Royal Establishment, the Government of Zambia and African Parks have renewed their long-term partnership for the collaborative management of Liuwa Plain National Park, extending a relationship that began nearly 25 years ago. The renewed mandate includes a portion of the Upper West Zambezi Game Management Area, helping to conserve the wider ecosystem that supports Africa's second-largest wildebeest migration.

Liuwa stands as a powerful example of the sustained commitment of government, traditional leadership, local communities and conservation partners alike.

Recognizable by their prominent tusks, the walrus is one of the most iconic animals in the Arctic.

They use their tusks to help them to get out of the water, ward off predators, and display dominance among their hierarchal social groups.
